Google SoC opened doors. I think it's will be great if Io could take part of it. There are good mentors, and hopefully, good students will come up. ...
I've looked in quite few sources, but I have to admit that Io's sources seem among the best. It's that easy to understand and follow, really wonderful just an...
... I have not remembered this message. I wrote in another thread about a few things 1) useful IDE 2) rails or seaside like stuff for Io Our code has gotten a...
Hi, all, It's been a while since I last used Io. After a git pull build process fails in two points where I think it should not: First, addon TagDB ignores Io...
... Hi Friedrich, Thanks for the kind words about the source. One of these days we may even document it. ;-) I agree with your todo list and would add a ...
From: Friedrich Dominicus ... I'm curious: what are the useful things you (anyone) would like in an IDE? What experience do you have with other IDEs that you...
... Line-by-line debugging of code written in Io would be my #1 IDE feature. With a language like Io "Intellisense" like features become almost impossible to...
Writing a line by line debugger in Io is trivial actually. I have one I wrote years ago, which used the old message manip api and as a result, would require a...
While IntelliSense might be impossible, writing basic support for refactoring isn't. In fact, it's made somewhat trivial, since parsing the source to produce...
... Let's add that the extract-method refactoring might possibly be incorrect due to syntax-tree rewritings -- but these should be rare, since such rewritings...
I have a similar interest in a Self/Squeak/Lively Kernel like UI. For my thesis (and fun) I hope to implement something like that on Flash (great UI and...
My point being that with dynamic message manipulation the IDE would (ideally) have to update its concept if lines and source code dynamically, on the fly. (-...
... Consider: foo bar := method( ... ) ... msg := "bar" foo doMessage( msg asMessage ) Should this case be explicitly handled, explicitly not handled, or ...
... Well we can take as an example Squeak or some other Smalltalk. So useful would be an easy to navigate browser. It would be nice to have symbol completion...
... One of the automated ways to refactor code via an IDE is to have it rename all variables or methods of one name to another. Sort of a global find/replace,...
... Sure but the Smalltalks have got it done and if you do not do stuff much different then they should be a good orientation point Regards Friedrich -- ...
... It'd be nice if we could someday, but let's start with what we can do now. Eclipse is no different -- if you use properties the refactorings can't figure...
Hi Steve, What do you think the priorities are for Io at the moment? I think full, up-to-date and accurate documentation should be the number one priority for...
... If folks are interested, feel free to borrow from my C coding conventions, which I've written with influences from my experience, but also after reviewing...
... This is an incredibly open-ended statement. It's TRUE, and it'll ALWAYS be true, but to determine what "accurate documentation" means, we need to first...
... No, because, it is not expected to be the common case. String-based evaluation at run-time opens a lot of security holes if you're not careful as well, so...
... 1) fix bugs 2) 100% docs coverage 3) cleanup standard lib APIs 4) release 1.0 5) optimization I'm not sure where persistence should go as it's something I...
I suggested some time ago to have this semantics on ordinary 'do'. I don't remember anybody's opinion on that topic that time. lexicalDo or doLexical seems...
... Hm, I don't know what you think about the different languages, but I found the Eiffel libraries one of the best structured. I think especially the GOBO...
... What about some docs about that system? A little tutorial maybe how to use it, what to document, style guides etc. Maybe more people would like write docs...
I've a question for Steve Dekorte... Is possible, in your opinion, a .NET implementation of the Io language built on top of the MS DLR? regard, arkasha...
